LG gaming monitor contest
LG gaming monitors are the kind of upgrade gamers crave. Face it, doing anything interesting or important without a decent monitor is more challenging than it needs to be. If your monitor is slow, then you can’t help but be distracted by the latency. If your monitor presents colours that are not accurate, then you can miss important details or, at the very least, may notice them too late to benefit your performance. However, with a monitor like the LG UltraGear 27″ FHD 240Hz 1ms GTG IPS LED G-Sync FreeSync Gaming Monitor we are giving away in this contest, you will be ready to take on the most visually demanding games available.

LG displays have a reputation for excellence

You are likely familiar with the amazing televisions produced by LG. Those have been among the very best screens you can buy: a reputation that continues year after year. Their monitors are similarly impressive. However, the UltraGear line of gaming monitors stand out as a gamers ultimate choice for a variety of reasons. Some of these reasons are covered in Brad Moon’s detailed review of this monitor.

To start with, the 240Hz refresh rate is amazing. Consider that many monitors are refreshing the screen at half or a quarter that rate. You might think that you never noticed that to be problematic in the past. However, there are numerous studies supporting the view that a faster refresh rate is easier on our eyes, and enables quicker reactions to changes on the screen. That isn’t likely to affect us when watching a movie, likely shot at much less than 60 frames per second. Gaming, though, is much faster as your reaction time may determine the difference between winning and losing. As you get better at gaming, you’ll want the competitive advantage that a really fast refresh rate provides.

LG UltraGear monitors ensure you’re getting the best gaming experience

Optimum performance of a monitor during gaming depends on many technologies working together. The software in the game needs to be accurately interpreted by the graphics card in your computer and the signal sent from the graphics card needs to be reliably synchronized with the refresh rate of the monitor. When this is done poorly you get visual aberrations on the screen. For example, you may have heard of screen tearing; sections of the screen seem to break away from where they should be (like if a character’s head may be several inches from their body). Obviously distracting for you and possibly fatal for the character (haha). LG Monitors have a variety of synchronization technologies built-in. NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD Radeon FreeSync keep the visual display stable. In additions, Dynamic Action Sync reduces the lag between you hitting a key or controller button, and your character responding accordingly to avoid or initiate an attack.

Gaming monitors are designed for optimum gameplay. You may, however, be thinking: we need a new TV and a new monitor but our budget this year forces us to choose one or the other. Sometimes life is about compromise. If getting the most from your gaming is the most important thing for you this year: get an LG UltraGear monitor! If you know you will need a new TV this year and will have to wait until next year for a gaming monitor, get the next best thing … an LG gaming TV! As I said, LG TVs are legendary. Their gaming TVs have incorporate many technologies to enhance gaming, despite not having all of the great features of an LG UltraGear monitor.

Then there is the possibility that you enter this contest and I draw your name in a few weeks! There is the dream: win the LG UltraGear Monitor and then buy an LG gaming TV for the best of both worlds!

  1. I would pick the LG gaming TV because my Son has been asking for one, he’s 14 & lives for video games 🙂

  6. I would personally go with a gaming monitor. While I do like gaming on a television I do believe monitors provide a tad advantage with processing. This is especially the case with newer consoles as well. Just my opinion. Thank you

  7. I’m more likely to get a gaming monitor this year. I’d like to upgrade my second monitor for when I stream!

  12. I would love to get the LG Gaming TV because it would work with my new PlayStation 5 I just got somehow.

  17. I’d go with the LG gaming monitor for the convenient option of being able to easily switch between PC and console. Our PCs in a brightly lit room so the anti-glare would be very nice.

  19. I’d get an LG gaming monitor, because I spend most of my free time at my pc rather than my couch.

  22. I would get an LG gaming TV! I don’t have enough space to have both a TV and a gaming monitor. If I can get the best of both TV and gaming on one monitor that would be awesome. Gaming and watching Netflix are what I do on my off days so it will definitely increase the quality of my rest days!

  23. I would much rather the LG gaming monitor because of its 99% srgb color gamut which is really good and it has very good hertz for an ips panel, great for the family to use.

  25. Gotta go with the monitor. For those long days working from home, being able to just switch over to the Xbox and play makes for a nice break!

  26. I am working from home and am using a crappy TINY 17 inch LCD monitor that is about 10 years old. I need to be to see my work!

  36. I am more likely to buy an LG gaming monitor
    I love the 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms GtG, NVIDIA G-Sync, and AMD Freesync support
    Also the Red and Black looks awesome

  39. I am more likely to purchase LG gaming monitor in 2022 because I would also be able to use for work

  45. I would purchase the LG gaming TV as I have not upgraded my TV in 8 years and would definitely need since purchasing a OLED Switch earlier this year

  46. Lg gaming monitor is what I’m looking to get. I’ve just built my pc and looking to have a nice set up going in the next year or so. Hopefully…
